Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
Parish Mission Statement
The Roman Catholic Family of Blessed Teresa
of Calcutta Parish recognizes the importance
of following in the footsteps of our patroness
in sharing our time, talent and treasure.
Through ordinary and simple actions, we strive
to teach and spread the Catholic faith, leading
all to know God in a personal and loving way.
In the celebration of the Eucharist, the parish
community receives energy to care for the
needs of all people through acts of kindness
and love.
Dear Parishioners,
When Jesus asks his disciples, "Who do people say that I
am?", Jesus gives insight into the response by telling
them that those who want to follow Him must "deny
himself and take up His cross." His disciples were
looking to follow a glorious leader, and Jesus describes
himself as a servant. We need to remember that the times
that we most follow Jesus is not when we are doing
something glorious, but when we are at the service of
others.
Fr. Brandt
"When you look at the inner workings of electrical
things, you see wires. Until the current passes through
them, there will be no light. That wire is you and me.
The current is God. We have the power to let the
current pass through us, use us, to produce the light of
the world, Jesus, in us. Or we can refuse to be used and
allow darkness to spread."
Mother Teresa

Heartfelt Gratitude
On behalf of my Mom and my siblings, I extend sincere
thanks to all the members of the parish who
expressed their sympathy to us on the
occasion of the sudden death of my father.
The Mass Cards, cards of sympathy, and the
words of encouragement have been a great
support during these difficult days. My Dad
was a great man and was always proud to be
a member of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
Parish. Our supportive parish community
has been a great source of strength over these past weeks.
Know that my family and I will always be grateful for
your presence during these challenging times.
